update: this was partly my own fault I shared the wrong link to the doc and no one told me lol

haha love the part of organizing a group effort where you set up the google doc, start writing the project proposal, share the document, leave some open questions because people said they'd pitch in, and then receive suggested changes to the document via group text

tonight's my first class after like 5 years of not adjuncting in person and I have to remember that undergrads are like spiders: more afraid of me than I am of them

In my metabolic rift era

Ramsey just said "oh my god" in a very shocked voice while in the bathroom and I was worried like he had found a cancer lump or lost a tooth or something weird and bad but when he came out of the bathroom he said he just found out there's a new season of Big Top Burger

also: I will probably end sales on the quarterly plotter postcards I'm doing this year soon, it's just easier to plan with a fixed edition size. get em while the getting is good: https://wares.lifewinning.com/products/2024-plotter-postcard-quarterly

I added two new plotter editions to my online store, one that's pricey and one that's pretty cheap: https://wares.lifewinning.com/products/a3-bingham-canyon-01-plotter-drawing and https://wares.lifewinning.com/products/kachin-a3-plotter-drawing

lining up guest speakers for classes I teach is so much fun because I get to remember how many cool people I am lucky to know

spent most of today doing tedious organizing of my class syllabus in Microsoft Teams for Education, which is somehow more annoying than Canvas? Yikes

A movie of The Mushroom at the End of The World but it's a globetrotting action movie starring Jason Statham as The Mushroom Hunter

Do we think Puss in Boots from Shrek would have fought with the Spanish anarchists or no

Jesus Christ I get it mastodon, Murderbot doesn't do gender and I'm a bad audiobook listener please get over yourselves

I think it might just be because of Kevin Free reading the audiobook but I really did not picture Murderbot as white? Hence the following picks:

- Idris Elba (if we insist on making Murderbot jacked which, not sure it's necessary)
- Honestly, jacked Kumail Nanjani could maybe pull it off, again assuming we need Murderbot to be jacked
- Justice Smith (so good at deeply awkward)
- Jeffrey Wright (see also: Westworld)

it's not even that I think a) arts orgs are some kind of tipping point that will change the trajectory or b) I even believe that this org has a ton to offer but they've been fundraising using POC and specifically Arab Muslim (and an antizionist Israeli who has been putting himself on the line a lot!) alums as evidence of their social justice bona fides and it just feels really gross! and I was mad!
